Hi Doug, Your broker may require you to be a member of the local MLS, however there any many brokerages that don't, as it is not a requirement to have a license or even practice real estate.

At some point, people just say enough is enough.You have a lot of people on fixed income down there and the insurance increases are out of control.

The state doesn’t have rent control laws, but landlords are prohibited from collecting more than one month’s rent for security deposits.

Durable goods like fridges, cars, and houses give us more control over our time and resources.

Are there any practical methods for implementing usage-based billing without submetering?

And I think you have a good amount of control whats happening in your own head, even if you are in an unhappy industry.

If you are going to do it yourself and be successful, you must know the law inside and out and learn how to resolve problems before they happen.If only someone wrote a practical how-to book for DIY Landlords...

Title company found out because it was on the chain of title.I don't know if this is common practice since this is not the subject property to be on a loan.

Since your goal is to build a portfolio of rental properties, you’re right to weigh both the financial and practical aspects of this decision.

If successful, this move would give the Nordstrom family 50.1% control, while Liverpool would own 49.9%.The first attempt in 2018 failed due to an inadequate offer.
